At the end of Tucker Carson’s show tonight, he blasted the New York Times for preparing to release an article on where he and his family live.

Tucker Carlson Calling Out The New York Times For Going After His Family
"Why is the New York Times doing a story on the location of my family's house? Well you know why, to hurt us. To injure my wife & kids so that I will shut up & stop disagreeing with them." pic.twitter.com/6yPTNA3RBv

Tucker says the New York Times has assigned a political activist named Murray Carpenter to write an article about where he lives now. He says they’ve hired a photographer named Tristan Spinsky to take photos.
Tucker explained what happened the last time a left-wing journalist publicized his address in Washington, saying:
“A group of screaming Antifa lunatics showed up while I was at work. They vandalized our home, they threatened my wife. She called 911 while hiding in a closet. A few weeks later they showed up again at our house. For the next year they sent letters to our home threatening to kill us. We tried to ignore it – it felt cowardly to sell our home and leave. We’d raised our kids there in the neighborhood and we loved it. But in the end, that’s what we did. We have four children; it just wasn’t worth it.”
Tucker says the New York Times knows exactly what will happen if they publicize his address and he called them and talked to them about it. But he said they didn’t care and plan to run the hit piece this week.

UPDATE: A Washington Post reporter notes that Murray Carpenter is already getting threatening messages on Twitter. Our own Fred T notes that all Tucker mentioned was his name, not his address:
Soo…. you DO understand that riling up mobs can be bad. Wonder how much worse those threats would be if it were, say, that dude's address instead of just his name. https://t.co/230xu5s93n

Curtis Houck from Newsbusters weighs in as well…
#Tucker is exactly right. If something happens to one of his four children, The New York Times won't care. In fact, they'll shrug and call it "collateral damage" or something like that. CNN and MSNBC won't call out this story or condemn the results

UPDATE: The New York Times issues statement, via Mediaite, claiming they don’t plan on exposing Tucker’s home residence:
“While we do not confirm what may or may publish in future editions, The Times has not and does not plan to expose any residence of Tucker Carlson’s, which Carlson was aware of before tonight’s broadcast.”
I honestly don’t think Tucker would have made such a big issue out of this on his show if it weren’t true, especially given what he’s already been through when this happened to him two years ago. I hope this statement from the Times means that he’s exposed their nonsense and that they are no longer going to put his family in jeopardy. But I fear this isn’t the end of it, and that just like the McCloskeys, he could have a mob on his front lawn any day now. I pray it doesn’t happen.
